IHTM09105 - Investigating no-grant cases: what to do when you receive an account
You should follow the normal instructions for investigating an account and you should seek a penalty for a late account (IHTM36021) in appropriate cases.  Â
In addition you should find out, if this is not already clear, why the account was not delivered when it should have been or why a grant was not taken out. There could be many reasons for this ranging from a deliberate attempt to evade or defer the payment of tax, to a family dispute, genuine ignorance of what was required or simply someone who is not able to cope with the whole process. The extent of your investigation will to a large extent depend on the explanation.
